What beautifully written, emotionally charged chapters these are. 

Even this bold move, giving him a new career and the hope of love once more, spoiled by the grim, silent dismay of the only other person whose esteem he truly valued, because the other twin, Pam, and his ex-wife Laura, had shut him out years ago.

Hard to imagine how gut-wrenching it is for Colson to basically strip himself naked in the face of his daughter's disapproval and disappointment.

Thanks, L&L!

Chapter 89. Drinking

For those in the US, where it is still Friday and a workday, this chapter might be considered, um, not work safe. You've been warned!

I know, I know - but I have absolutely no willpower when it comes to this story!   :laugh:

Yep, you both said it - many special moments in these pivotal chapters. 

Thanks,

I am putting on the big push to finish the edits on this book tonight so it can go to final Leslieizing before putting together a final galley manuscript.  Stay tuned, then I will be devoting myself to Chesterfield this weekend.
